To sum it all up: You are gathering facts about the topics above using
1) the books I gave you (they are in your classroom)
2) websites that I have given you links to
You are writing the facts on the topic papers we set up in class. Bullet points or sentences are fine. You don't need to write notes in nice paragraph form.
and You are gathering pictures and putting them into a PowerPoint along with the website name where you found the picture.
If you have problems or questions, please ask promptly. Check back often for new websites. I post new ones as I find them.
